Development - To ensure we meet your expectations ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example it is essential that the vehicle?s crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan Warn winches from the US? we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements.

History - The origins of ARB can be traced back to Australia?s remote Top End
circa 1975. A region of vast distances and rugged terrain
it was fast becoming a Mecca for the nation?s burgeoning 4WD community. However
the very environment that attracted 4 wheelers also wreaked havoc on their equipment ? when driving in extreme conditions
only the best 4?4 accessories will do. This was the conclusion drawn by Tony Brown during his travels at the time. While exploring the treasures of the Top End
the skills Tony gained from working on his Land Rover were regularly called on to mend damaged bull bars and broken roof racks. Bar work back then was crude
not at all suited to overland touring
and through this experience an idea was born ? high quality equipment that met the vigorous demands of 4WD owners. Upon returning to Melbourne
Tony put theory into practice via the family garage
where he sought to address the product deficiencies he?d encountered. His vision called for a combination of sound design principles and reliable raw materials? a simple solution to an endemic problem. The concept was embraced when it hit the fledgling 4?4 market
and ARB ? the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown ? was founded. Today
ARB is Australia?s largest manufacturer and distributor of 4?4 accessories. We also have an international presence
with an office in the US and an export network that extends through more than 80 countries around the globe. Our philosophy
however
has never wavered from its original course ? quality
reliability and practicality above all else.
